  1. Give him a break. He was at least 100 when he played StarFox.

  3. The gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Squadrons is out now! And I think it looks fantastic! That cockpit view...The controls and management look great, and I love how you get to control a pilot for both sides.

  5. I posted this in the Niki Lauda thread when he passed away, so it's just a copy paste. He just had massive balls of steel in general and his perseverance and "never give up" mentality is what made him a legend. He cut ties to his wealthy family after his grandfather interfered and blocked him from getting sponsored by the Austrian bank as he wanted to stop him from racing when he was just starting out; Niki went on and took out numerous loans to finance his racing career. He told Enzo Ferrari that the car he was supposed to drive was shite. He told the priest who was giving him his last rites after the crash in the hospital to fuck off because he wasn't dead and that made him so angry that it inspired him to fight harder to stay alive. He underwent extremely painful lung-cleaning procedures (among other severe injuries) and returned to racing just 42 days after the crash with unhealed burn wounds and still managed to qualify 5th and finish 4th in the race. He boycotted the last race in Fuji in the 76 season due to safety concerns; drove only one lap and left the circuit, willingly giving up his championship hopes to protest risking drivers' lives over TV contract. He stood up against Boeing and made them acknowledge their technical fault after a plane belonging to his airline had a fatal crash in Thailand. To do that, he ran numerous flight simulations and offered to fly on a 767 with two pilots and repeat the scenario to see if the accident could have been prevented by the pilots. He came out of retirement and won his 3rd title. He survived two kidney transplants. Death only managed to take him while he was asleep. Legend.

  6. If they decided to built a fully autonomous luxury car, they should at least have built a mini bar in, don't you think???

  7. It did didn't it... Also for the asking price they are no doubt going to be going for I would have expected a butler to emerge from that side hatch on the Rolls Royce to carry them cases for me.... Can't believe that was the best they could come up with though, They must have no imagination whatsoever in that building... If someone gave me £500,000 to spend making one of them old fashioned Go-Carts that's what it would probably end up looking like... Laziness, pure laziness....

  8. That pretty much covers it.... The ones where you had no door and had to slide in over the top as well seemed a pretty naff idea... Also some of them doors and bits took a while to open, can't imagine what it would be like holding 4 bags of Asda groceries while I am waiting for my walk in door to finish opening... Also the one where the steering wheel moved back to the dashboard was pretty noisy?? reminded me of how my first CD player sounded when I loaded it up in the tray and pressed close... Not keen on that Rose Red tinted windscreen... looks flash on the outside but inside looks like the kind of lighting you might find in a lap dancing booth.... well, so I am told anyway..

  9. Only watched the first video, most of them look like obnoxious boats, but yeah, that Rolls Royce takes the cake... As you said, I'm sure they have plenty of technical innovations inside, but what disappoints me is that the majority of them also aspire to be as flashy as possible and seem to think that the more LED lights (mostly looking at you there, Bentley), the better. I know concept cars are not about practicality at all and is just imagination running wild, but still, many of the design parts doesn't really make sense. Moving breaking lights? Glass floor? Red carpet imitation? Floating top (good luck with that during the rain)? Using your smartphone as the dashboard? Silly gimmicks. Wouldn't want to have an accident in any of those either, pretty much a coffin with no way out.

  11. Looking at getting a new car (and maybe a bike) here in the coming months. Thinking of going with the car that I've always wanted, and that is the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that is similar to this one - As for bike, my dream is something along these lines -

  12. Concept cars.. The Rolls Royce looks bloody awful... some great ideas and designs here but it will take some time before I would be prepared to be chilling out in the back seat with no driver..

  17. I like it too. I just have questions how the handling works and whether you can die from environmental damage too. On the whole it looks like a lot of fun and I think I will get it when it comes out.

  18. Nintendo specializes in this. I mean a plumber who jumps on enemies and rides a fantasy mini dinosaur? A little fairy boy who goes to save a princess who hasn't once given him any and yet he gets burned and bruised? A space mercenary who can turn into a ball making your regular contortionist look like amateur hour? Yeah Animal Crossing is definitely made by them and its like crack. I know someone personally who actually streams it and I think to myself "get it" then I quietly gaze at my work calendar and go "yeah cant get it"
